Ever wondered how teamwork—or the lack thereof—can be life-threatening in healthcare? Take the case of Mary, whose severe complications arose from poor team coordination. In 1988, a novice intern under-dosed a crucial medication due to inadequate supervision, leading to a major health crisis. Yet, it was only in the ICU, where intensive teamwork finally prevailed, that Mary found recovery.

Let’s change the business of sick care to championing a culture of health care. It takes guidance and it requires effort. On-site care clinics, 1 on 1 nurse advocates, preventative care methods, steerage to higher quality physicians, chronic illness management, exercise and nutrition regimen, just to name a few. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it. We’re here to help. The Grassroots Health Care Revolution, John Torinus Jr. #HighPerformingHealthPlan

Great work by the hospital avoidance team at #CALHN AND the community can also play a part in reducing hospital congestion by taking some simple steps for your self and your family/loved ones: 1. Discuss the goals of care with older family members or those with serious health issues - not everyone wants Resus/CPR or ICU 2. Ensure that everyone is aware of what is appropriate/desired and what is not 3. Make sure people's wishes are documented and the document is "findable" 4. Plan ahead - many admissions are the result of people being unwilling to talk about failing health until it becomes critical 5. Organise and accept community services and other help when available EDs and hospitals are very important for acute care - but they are not always the nicest place for those with frailty and gradually failing health. We risk delivering care which is not wanted or helpful when we spend a lot of time and resources without having thought about these simple steps....
